Violin Plot

Violin plots combine the summary statistics of box plots with the distribution shape visualization of kernel density estimation. The width of each 'violin' represents the density of data at that value, providing more insight into the distribution shape than box plots alone. They're excellent for comparing distributions across multiple groups, especially when distributions may be multimodal.
